Mesa/Boogie announces Cleo, Dynaplex and Gold Mine overdrive pedals
Mesa/Boogie has announced three new overdrive pedals that each cover a different range of the gain spectrum. The Cleo, Dynaplex and Gold Mine are the latest dirtboxes conceived from the brand at their workshop in Petaluma, California.
Cleo

At this pedal’s hottest settings, you’ll find a medium gain overdrive, still packed with dynamic nuance and a lively attack. Controls on the Cleo are simple – with just volume, gain and tone control.
Dynaplex
Image: Mesa/BoogieThe Dynaplex is aim “straight at the heart” of British crunch, with an emphasis on delivering chirping harmonics and mid-range punch. This dirtbox seems to be the more classic rock-oriented of the bunch – and is centred around delivering mid-gain guitar tones. In addition to volume, gain and tone control, this device also includes a presence knob for showing off its more chime-y tendencies.
Gold Mine
Image: Mesa/BoogieDesigned with heavy players in mind, the Gold Mine offers harmonically rich mid- to high-gain tones that can be engaged for chugging rhythm playing and soaring leads alike. In terms of controls, this pedal brings along a tone stack – controls for bass, mids and trebles – in addition to its volume and gain knob.
